Hadith.1578 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said to Ammar ibn Musa al-Sabati: "O Ammar, you are a man of considerable wealth." Ammar replied: "Yes, may I be your ransom." Imam asked: "Do you fulfill what Allah (swt) has made obligatory upon you in terms of Zakat?" Ammar said: "Yes." Imam then asked: "Do you give the known right from your wealth?" Ammar replied: "Yes." The Imam continued: "Do you maintain ties with your relatives?" Ammar said: "Yes." The Imam asked further: "Do you support your brothers?" Ammar replied: "Yes." The Imam then said: "O Ammar, wealth perishes, the body decays, and deeds remain. The Reckoner (Allah (swt)) is living and does not die. O Ammar, indeed, what you have sent ahead will never leave you, and what you delay will never reach you."
1578 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِعَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ : «يَا عَمَّارُ أَنْتَ رَبُّ مَالٍ كَثِيرٍ» قَالَ نَعَمْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ «فَتُؤَدِّي مَا اِفْتَرَضَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ» فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَتُخْرِجُ اَلْحَقَّ اَلْمَعْلُومَ مِنْ مَالِكَ » قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَتَصِلُ قَرَابَتَكَ» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَتَصِلُ إِخْوَانَكَ» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «يَا عَمَّارُ إِنَّ اَلْمَالَ يَفْنَى وَ اَلْبَدَنَ يَبْلَى وَ اَلْعَمَلَ يَبْقَى وَ اَلدَّيَّانَ حَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ يَا عَمَّارُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مَا قَدَّمْتَ فَلَنْ يَسْبِقَكَ وَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ فَلَنْ يَلْحَقَكَ ».
